More power to the people from Enermax
More power to the people from Enermax
Enermax, those crazy power supply dudes have gone power mad with their latest bit of kit, the Galaxy. Set to be available in the UK from around October, the Galaxy is the first PSU to the retail market claiming to be able to deliver 1000W… yes, you read that right, 1000W.
In final production at the time of writing, the two samples in the photos are engineering samples so we couldn’t get out hands on one for testing, but having run the figures past Rys, they add up to just a little over 1000W output, drawing 1400W from the mains… so no need for a dimmer switch in the lounge anymore!
In fact, other than rocking up a huge electricity bill, it’s hard to see how you’re ever going to need 1000W inside your machine. Unless you’re a modding freak with five SATA drives, loads of lighting, fans and a pair of 7800s inside your machine with a kettle, electric fire and table saw attached to the USB you have to wonder why you'd need a 1000W PSU… but of course, you could just be future proofing, or compensating for something…

HOW NOISY IS YOUR PSU
im thinking about buying one along with a thermaltake kandalf caseQuote
You could quite possibly need this PSU to run a quad opteron system, or quad SLI- http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050526_155843.html
See if I was running a quad Opteron system, I'd be the sort of person looking at some sort of redundant PSU system anyway. OK, maybe quad SLI, with a hefty RAID array, but that's about it.Quote
PC Power & Cooling (who Alienware use in their super high end ALX systems) currently have a 850w PSU with a peak of 950w. It is currently for sale, but costs nearly $500. So for this Enermex, expect an enourmous price to go along with its enourmous wattage ;)
#EDIT#
Link to the PC Power & Cooling PSU if you're interested: LINK (http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/viewproduct.php?show=T85SSI)
And PCP&C has already started advertising their forthcoming 1KW PSU.
Of course it will be a REAL 1KW at REAL temperatures (e.g., 50C), unlike the deceptive "1KW" that Enermax claims at an unspecified but certainly unrealistically low (e.g., 25C) temperature.Quote
